Believe it or not, disagreements over money are the number one cause of
divorces and breakups on a global scale. It isn’t children, cheating, or
even bad cooking that sends the other one packing. It’s simple matters of
money management styles and priorities. While coming together on methods
for managing money will be a huge bonus for your odds of reconciliation,
there are other wise money matters that could help even more. These are a
few financial decisions that can seriously boost your odds of relationship
success with your ex.

Keep Separate Accounts

While there is money that must be pooled for household resources such as
mortgage, car payments, groceries, and utilities, children, retirement,
savings, etc., you each need to have your own cash you can spend on
yourself according to your needs. It also needs to be money that is yours
and yours alone. This way there’s no confusion or crossed signals about
how to spend the money or who gets to spend it.

Just remember that one person shouldn’t shoulder the burden of unexpected
expenses alone. That only breeds resentment.

Improve Your Financial Outlook

Take steps now, before you get back together, to make positive changes for
your financial outlook. Go back to school — at least take a few classes
to improve your employability and, possibly, to increase your salary
potential. Get a new job if that’s an option. Sometimes, making a move
from one company to another can bring a higher salary simply because you
have experience. Some companies tend to spend less money hiring new
employees than they do to retain their talent. At the very least, explore
your options for a better financial future.

Learn to Manage Your Own Money Better

Managing money isn’t always about all saving and no spending. There’s a
lot to be said about quality of life being greatly enriched when you
spend some money on yourself. At the same time, if you can stretch your
money with a little planning, there’s no need to spend more than is
necessary. Clip coupons. Match coupons with sales. Stock up when prices
are low. Buy items you want on layaway rather than credit cards. Small
moves such as these can help you save a great deal of money over time and
with consistency.

The better your financial outlook is, the greater your odds of being able
to work things out will be. Just remember, that without coming together on
your ideas about money management, old fights and old resentments are sure
to surface. You must come to an understanding over money before you get
back together and intermingle your finances once again.
